GAME-BIRDS OF SOUTH AFRICA 



These birds apparently confine themselves to the upper 

 Districts of Natal, where they associate in pairs or small 

 coveys, frequenting the yellow-wood forests in the vicinity 

 of Karkloof, Dargle, and elsewhere. 



Mr. Sclater writes that the nest is placed in long grass 

 usually at the foot of a bush or tree, and that the eggs, which 

 number from six to eight in a clutch, are reddish-buff minutely 

 spotted with dark reddish-brown or purple, and measure 

 1.55 by 1.15 in.
